Crime Prevention

Crime Prevention is a community responsibility. All members of the community need to work together, in partnership with the Puyallup Police Department, to keep our community resistant to criminal activity. Police cannot be everywhere at all times, so they rely on community members to assist in reporting suspicious activities and people, report crime in a prompt fashion and assist by being a good witness when the need arises. Puyallup Police Department has established several programs to assist community members in this ongoing effort.
